Kon darem slaap en koffie maak.

Mnr. Lance het ons vriendelik ontvang. Alles was skoon, badkamer ook. Die blyplek is na ons mening nie op standaard nie. Badkamer het net 'n gordynafskorting. Meublument lyk oud en beddegoed ook. Hangplek vir klere is 'n houtraamkas met ogiesdraad toe. Die gebou se voorkoms benodig opknapping. Hek moet met sleutel en slot oopgemaak word as jy uit-of ingaan. Daar is geen beligting by die donker hek nie en nie afstandbeheer vir hek nie. TV het net beperkte kanale wat dit onbruikbaar maak. Geen beskuitjies met oggendkoffie nie en net poeiermelk. Afdak vir motor lyk nie stewig nie. Die paaie in Harrismith is 'n gemors. Jy kan nie reguit in 'n pad ry nie. In die vervolg sal ek verkies om met die eienaar van 'n blyplek te kontak en net betaal as ek daar arriveer en dit goed genoeg vind. Dan kan eienaar die kommissie aan die webtuiste oorbetaal. Punt. Ons wou omdraai toe ons by hek arriveer.

At least could sleep and make coffee.

Mr. Lance received us kindly. Everything was clean, bathroom too. The accommodation is not up to standard in our opinion. Bathroom only has a curtain partition. Furniture looks old and bedding too. Hanging space for clothes is a wooden frame closet with eyelet wire. The building's appearance needs renovation. Gate must be opened with key and lock when going out or entering. There is no lighting at the dark gate and no remote control for gate. TV only has limited channels which makes it unusable. No biscuits with morning coffee and only powdered milk. Awning for car does not look sturdy. The roads in Harrismith are a mess. You can't drive straight down a road. In the future I would prefer to contact the owner of a place to stay and only pay when I arrive there and find it good enough. Then the owner can pay the commission to the website. Point. We wanted to turn around when we arrived at the gate.

Rustig, net wat mens nodig het.

Lance is baie vriendelik en behulpsaam. Baie gasvry. Dit is rustige stil omgewing. Ons het net 1 aand oorgeslaap maar sal dit definitief aanbeveel vir enige een wat die lang pad aandurf. Cottage is skoon en het als wat mens benodig. Sal dalk net groter glase insit maar anders is dit perfek. Baie dankie.

Die plek is skoon.

Die plek het lieflike beddens en is skoon en netjies. Wat my egter pla is dat badkamers gewone glasvensters het (nie riffelgals) met slegs 'n kantgordyn, nie goed nie. Die hele plek kan doen met gordyne wat vensters behoorlik toe maak, blinders werk nie in sitkamer. Verder was daar nie water nie, dit hoor ons eers nadat ons ingeboek het. Was nie een van die aangenaamste keuses nie.

The place is clean.

The place has lovely beds and is clean and tidy. What bothers me though is that bathrooms have plain glass windows (not corrugated gals) with only a lace curtain, not good. The whole place could do with curtains that close windows properly, blinds don't work in living room. Furthermore, there was no water, we only heard about this after we checked in. Was not one of the most pleasant choices.
